 * __Mother of Murdered 'Goth' Girl Backs Housing Association's Hate Crime Campaign__**

Sophie Lancaster was murdered for being "goth" and being in an "alternative sub-culture." Now her mother is backing a housing association's campaign to stop hate crimes. Sophie was murdered in Stubbylee Park, Bacup in 2007. She was trying to help her boyfriend after he was set on by a gang of thugs. The reason for his beating is because he "dressed like a goth."

I am so glad that Sophie's mother is doing something about this murder. Hate crimes are horrilble and very tragic. What happend to Sophie was completely unnecessary because no one should care how anyone dresses or acts like. That was Sophie's style and she liked to dress that way. If she likes to dress like that, then let her dress like that. It is no one else's business. Sophie was an innocent girl, who did nothing wrong and should have not been killed. As far as what happened to her boyfriend, that was terrible. Just because he "dressed like a goth" does not mean he should be beaten. Everybody has their own style of dressing and the way they act. Why should anybody care?
